Update from Ric Ryan Walking Man of Murphys

Hi this is Ric Ryan "The walking man of Murphys". Once again I want to thank the great people of Calaveras County for your support in helping me raise money for our young men and women fighting in our wars. With your donations and the 25 cents a wave I put in we have now raised around $13000.00 and when I walk on this next Monday, October 8th I will have a little over 4200 miles walked in this small but great county. I can not thank the people of this county enough for helping me with this project. Being a Marine who spent 13 months in Vietnam in 66 and 67 I can tell you all I know this is something that must be done for our troops. Even if you do not agree with this war we MUST SUPPORT OUR TROOPS 100%. I will keep walking as long as I can for our troops and 100% of all money collected will go to Operation Mend for they are doing so much for our wounded troops. When Operation Mend helps our young men and women coming home from the war zone Operation Mend pays for everything. The troops pay NOTHING IT IS ALL FREE.
God Bless  Ric Ryan      USMC      64-68
